What options strategy for going long on AAPL?

Yes. Buy the underlying instead of the options. There is no free lunch.

 

If you are novice still, how can you tell for sure that they are great suggestions ?

Something to consider.

 

I dont thats why I'm asking. But nothing gets explained here.

 

Thanks, I feel this is a much better approach too, do you trade weeklies or traditional monthly options for this purpose?

 

i like using weeklies to risk as little as possible to try to make back 5-10X gains on a 3-6% move. this way

you could also put down a strangle considering apple is very volatile lately, and will probably move enough to make u money. i got lucky last week and put a strangle down right before IV popped and i woke up with a 23% gain the next day that i quickly closed. i'm looking for another chance to put in another strangle but not sure when...
